"but when the sender and the layout is perfect"

The thing is that often, *if you look*, they're 
not perfect. So you *DO* have something to learn.

You probably got an html styled message with 
Ebay's logo and color patterns on it. I've gotten 
them in the past too. However, for one example, 
if there are images in the message, look at where 
they're hosted. In most of the messages I've 
gotten, the images have always been hosted on 
some bizarre, unknown server. In one case, said 
server (determined by looking up the owner of the 
URL) was owned by FootLocker! (Which for those 
who don't know, is a US shoe store chain that has 
nothing to do with Ebay.)

Not to mention that there is one big GLARING way 
in which the message is NOT perfect:

**It is asking for your user ID and password!**

That alone, after everything they say on the 
sites, should immediately tell you it's not from 
either of them.

Even if you haven't had time to dig through the 
small print of the sites (and I don't think many 
people can claim they've read *every* word of it 
either), then at least you read this Forum and 
saw the following post in a thread on this topic:
